1983 Tournament 190 I/O. Below the storage tray and just in front of the doghouse are two pipes with plugs that I believe are part of my bilge system. (see pic) Is there a forward bilge that pulls water up to this compartment and then through one of the holes to a rear bilge and then out of the...

This is a storage area just in front of my doghouse on a 1983 Tournament 190. The two plugs in the right side of the photo what do they do? Which one is going to or coming from what? Thanks in advance

I have a new to me 1983 190 Tournament, There is a storage compartment in front of the doghouse. This compartment has 2 drain plugs. Where are these plugs draining from and where are they draining to? Do these end up in the bilge pump. Thanks in advance
